	Brain Food by Eliza Cooper The first brain food available to us is Mother's Milk which provides the right formula for producing healthy brain cells. As we grow, exercise is always on the top of the list for most health issues. The brain is no different. The brain is made up 85% water and 15% minerals, proteins, sugar, and amino acids. The brain has 9 billion nerve cells that communicate with one another twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. The brain needs fats, but the right fats. Omega 3 Fatty acids such as are obtained from flax seed oil and from fish oils. Moms used to give their children a daily dose of cod liver oil in the morning to prevent colds and flu. Little did they realize that there was the added benefit of supplying the brain with healthy food and reducing the blood levels of potentially harmful fats, like cholesterol. B vitamins improve mood and mental performance. Research has shown that choline enhances memory and reduces fatigue. The above mentioned nutrients support the neurotransmitters necessary for proper brain functioning. Ever have a headache and wonder why? Dehydration is the answer. The brain is the first area of the body impacted by it. Research shows that children who drink a glass water every two hours perform better in school. Water is the best medicine you can treat your body with. Visit www.watercure.com. Baseline nutrition is essential for all body functioning as the body is an integrated system that shares nutritional needs. Therefore we all need to make sure we get our daily nutritional needs met as well as drinking an adequate amount of water. The rule of thumb is "half your body weight in ounces of water". For the average adult that's about 8 glasses of water per day. Those active in sports or who are heavier than the average person will need more. To get your daily nutritional needs met check out the 90 Day Habit of Health Challenge!
